MS KHOR!

Okay nevermind, just being random.

:D :D :D :D :D!

Moral of the story: Do not gossip and focus, focus, focus.

1) Focus on your experiment.

2) Always check whether you are actually doing what you want to do. For example, if you want to measure the boiling point of water, then do it and not measure the boiling point of the glass of the test tube. Stop gossiping.

3) Make sense of what you're actually doing. For example, if you want to measure the boiling point of water, place the thermometer in the test tube containing water. Do not stare at the other test-tube and wonder why your water is in the other test tube when it should be in your test tube. Stop gossiping.

4) Do something. For example, when you realized that the water is in the other test tube when it is supposed to be in yours, wake up and start to wonder how and why did your water 'teleport' to the other test tube. Stop gossiping.

5) SHUT UP. For example, it you see that the thermometer is reaching beyond 100 degrees celcius, revise what the teacher had said in class, "water boils at 100" and then immediately seek advice from the teacher. Do not wait till the mercury reaches the tip of the thermometer and then shout, "teacher!"

You could have died.

I mean, we could have died.

And you are to blame... for joining in our gossip convo.

There are so many reasons as to why you shouldn't just forward your f**king chain letter without even checking its validity. It's just plain stupid, scaring the whole wide world or web like that.

If you've been receiving these letters...:

Hey it is Andy and john the directors of MSN, sorry for the interruption but msn is closing down. this is because too many inconsiderate people are taking up all the name (eg making up lots of different accounts for just one person)we only have 578 names left.
If you would like to close your account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON.
If you would like to keep your account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This is no joke, we will be shutting down the servers. Send it on,thanks.

Or this:

The use of msn and hotmail will cost money from summer 2006.
If you send this message to 18 different people from your list your little icon will become blue and that will make it free for you. If you dont believe me go on (www.msn.com) and see it yourself. Dont foward this message copy paste it so people will actually read it.

...well, I'm telling you it's just a hoax.

And if you're sending the abovementioned letters...
...well, I'm going to stare at you like that: o_0

There are like so many ways to detect whether these are fakes:
1) If MSN were to shut down, it would have been sort of a formal event since it concerns people all over the world, wouldn't it? Right, so I'm going to ask you, "WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD START A FORMAL LETTER WITH A 'HEY'?!"
2) And also, "WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD STATE WITH THEIR NAMES AT THE START OF A FORMAL LETTER?" I've never seen anyone starting a formal letter with "I am so and so and I am the director of so and so company", rather, one would start with the introduction of the situation/problem and not the introduction of themselves! By the way, the position and the name of a person will always be at the end of a letter.
3) Worse still, "WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD SAY "IT IS ANDY AND JOHN"? Doesn't "WE ARE ANDY AND JOHN" sound a little bit more sane?
4) "WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD NEGLECT THEIR CASINGS IN A FORMAL LETTER?" I mean, IN A FORMAL LETTER, you should put "Andy and John", instead of "Andy and john", right? There's no such thing as 'accidently overlooking the cases' because the 'CLOSING DOWN OF MSN' is quite a major event, one would have double-checked his/her letter! Or rather, one would not need to have checked his/her letter because your fingers would have automatically pressed the 'CAPS LOCK' upon typing the first letter of a name.
5) Lastly, the above letters are not even written in FORMAL LANGUAGE, which means, they are NOT EVEN MEANT TO BE FORMAL, which means, BOTH LETTERS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE TAKEN INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION! So why should you even take it seriously and start forwarding them all?
6) Sorry, but that's not all, because if MSN were to shut down, I tell you, it would seriously be SO MUCH EASIER for THE DIRECTORS OF MSN to send an OFFICIAL LETTER to OFFICIALLY inform you that MSN would be OFFICIALLY shut down. But have you even received such OFFICIAL LETTERS?
7) APPARENTLY NOT! Because all this while, you've been receiving these letters from your gullible friends. You think MSN would just let your friends inform you of such a major event? No, they wouldn't because they would never know who have been notified or who haven't, so they would much rather send a mail to YOU, to notify YOU personally and ensure that YOU, along with every other people in the world would have at least ONE NOTIFICATION MAIL IN THEIR ACCOUNT!
8) And MSN would never say "SEND THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR CONTACT LIST",because it doesn't make any sense. Like what's the point of having people to forward mails here and there? To ensure that your account is active? WRONG. They wouldn't need you to send mails to people to check whether your account is active, because they have a system to record who has been logging in to their account within the past months. And they have this 'if you do not log in within 10 days, your account will be deactivated' or something like that, so there is no reason for MSN to ask you to forward mails! Grr.
9) Haven't you realized that every e-mail that concerns MSN would have MSN logo, the butterfly, so on and so forth. Mails concerning MSN, yet without the butterfly logo, should never be regarded seriously.
10) I believe THE DIRECTORS OF MSN would be SANE enough not to put "THIS IS NO JOKE" in a letter. Have you ever seen a director of a company write "I'm sorry but I'm closing down my company, this is no joke, please inform everyone in your department" in letter? No, you haven't. Because only INSANE people would write this.
11 If MSN were to shut down, the homepage would have stated it and it would have been in bold. But what do you see? MSN is still functioning like normal, like nothing's going to happen. Or you supposed MSN will go "BOO, SURPRISE! MSN IS OSING DOWN TODAY AND IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT HEEDING YOUR FRIENDS' MAILS AND FORWARD THEM, NANINANI POOPOO!"
12) LASTLY, the language structure in the letters just suck like hell.

You wouldn't want to waste time believing all that SH*T letters. If you recieved both letters and BELIEVED THEM BOTH and SENT THEM BOTH, you are just *BEEP*. Because you'll never have MSN telling you "MSN IS CLOSING DOWN" and "MSN IS GOING TO CHARGE YOU" at the same time! CLOSING DOWN and CHARGING is two different things. You'll just be contradicting yourselves but placing this two issues together!

You're just wasting time and bandwidth.
